TTYM: How Athletes Blow Their $ And Is Torri Hunter Bitter?

Torri Hunter answers the question “is he bitter about the Josh Hamilton Deal?” An ESPN commentator takes things too far. No, this time we really mean it. And find out some of the ridiculous ways millionaire athletes spend their money in this week’s That Thing You Missed.Dumb and Dumber

Sports commentators say stupid things all the time. It’s almost part of their charm. It adds to our delight and frankly, it gives us something else to talk about with our co-workers.

Rob Parker, however, took it one step too far by making the coup de grace, – the holy grail of ridiculous statements during an interview on ESPN when he asked if Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III was “A brother? Or is he a cornball brother?”

Excuse me? Parker then went on to insinuate RG3 isn’t “really” black because he has a white fiancé and just might be *gasp* a Republican.

Oy vey.

So, Rob, black men don’t marry white women? What century are you living in?

And, there are no black Republicans? Do the names Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell ring a bell?

During the interview fellow correspondent Stephen A. Smith even chimed in to say he was really “uncomfortable” with Parker’s comments.

Wow. It’s a pretty safe bet you’ve gone off the deep end if Stephen A. Smith is the one who has to reel you in.

Well-known cigar lover Michael Jordan has reportedly built a 12.4 million dollar “manse” completely designed to spec to handle massive amounts of smoke.

It sits on an exclusive golf course in Jupiter, Florida. And for his bank account’s sake – Let’s hope they let him wear cargo shorts there – or he may have to build himself a villa to play golf in too.
